Journey to Finding Myself

I keep getting asked alot exactly what is my routine since joining Weight watchers!  So here is a breakdown of a normal day in the life of ME!  I get up every morning at 7am. I get my 2 Toddler boys up (ages 4 and 5). I get them dressed and ready for school and while they are eating breakfast I normally have a Protein Shake for breakfast.... This is what I drink. I have tried Caramel, Chocolate, Strawberries and cream and banana and cream so far and LOVE everyone of them! I like to put mine in the freezer for 30 minutes before drinking.  Drop kiddos off at school and do my thing. I try 5 times a week to come home and walk on my treadmill for 2 miles (38 minutes). I have been able to work myself up to jogging for a few seconds at a time every so often (who knew I would enjoy to jog... just can't do much yet, but plan too!)! I shower (thats the worst part of exercising, you have to instantly get in the shower) and then do some laundry or some housework and ...

Week 5 and down a total of 17 lbs!  THANK YOU Weight watchers for helping me to stay on track. This past week was a very challenging week for me. I didn't feel well most of the week so therefore I wasn't able to do my normal routine of exercising BUT I STILL LOST!!!! YAY! I still can't hardly tell I have lost much body wise, BUT I can feel it! I feel like I am finally coming ALIVE! My clothes are getting a little big on me, which is not bad. haha!   NOTICE.... I am eating something in both pictures!! Thats the wonderful thing about Weight watchers!! I don't have to stop eating! :)

Today we spent the most part of the day at a local state fair! SURROUNDED by so many food stands. Corn dogs, funnel cakes, lemon shakeups, cotton candy, deep fried twinkies, deep fried oreos, pizza, ice cream... YOU NAME IT!!!! but let me tell you I was not 1 bit distracted by what was around me. Of course I read all the things that each stand had to sell, but I was no tempted to get any BECAUSE I HAVE WORKED TO HARD AND I FEEL TO GOOD!!!!! BUT THEN I SEEN IT.............AND STOPPED IN MY TRACKS.. FLAVORED WATERMELON...... SAY WHAT???? As I stood there asking this man what in the world he had, he explained to me that I could pick any flavor listed below and add it to my watermelon. No sugar added and no artificial sugars, so of course I was SO excited and without even thinking bought some! I was so thankful there was something there that I did not have to feel like I was not getting anything or that I was left out (you know how we make ourselves feel...

Success Stories? We all have them! It may be family related, job related, physical related, but we all have them! Some we like to share and others we would rather HIDE.  What is your success story?  I started Weight Watchers July 27, 2017 with a determination of a change!  I didn't only want a change with my weight, but I wanted a change in my mind, Soul and Body! I wanted a change not with my looks, but with how I felt! I wanted to be able to play with my kids and not be to tired or not be able to get down in the floor or not be able to run and play! I wanted my kids to have great memories! I was going through something in my physical body that had been going on for many years and I wanted a change. I KNEW what I was putting in my mouth played a HUGE part of what was going on with my body. SO I MADE A CHANGE! I walked into my first Weight Watchers meeting, scared, nervous, afraid of failure but left encouraged. The leader asked a question..... "Why are...

A FEW OF MY FAVORITE THINGS...... (I will be adding more later)  Bought from Aldies, only 1 Point per stick  Mini Ice Cream Sandwiches Only 2 Points Each (Also bought from Aldies)  1/4 of a Cup is 0 points (That is AWESOME for Cheese)  ICE CREAM!!! Only 3 points for 1/2 a cup! This is my favorite flavor  I Love pizza and was hesitant to try TURKEY pepperoni, but I could honestly tell no difference and they tasted so good just plain! Only 2 Points for 17 pieces! I found these at Aldies and they are only 1 Point each! Only 1 Point PER SLICE!
